Working with Adults Who Have Earliest Wounds: A PPN Somatic Perspective

Our earliest layers of experience form the roots of health on every level: body, mind and spirit. These earliest experiences include preconception, conception, the prenatal period, birth and after birth. Many practitioners of all kinds now seek to know more about how to work with earliest trauma in adults, especially with the increased awareness of developmental or complex trauma, and in the impact of the Adverse Childhood Experiences study.

Often called early developmental trauma, recognizing, reaching and healing ruptures or interruptions in development from this early time are increasingly seen as the cracks in the foundation of human health. Current healing science now includes overwhelming childhood experiences and ancestral patterns; the prenatal and perinatal period is the missing piece.

Once the patterns from earliest trauma are recognized, they cannot be unseen. Our challenge is to give the tools of recognition to practitioners of all kinds while laying the groundwork for prevention, which is doable in our world today.

We have invited five practitioners who work in the field of prenatal and perinatal somatics to help share with you tools, skills and their approach to helping with adults with earliest wounds.

Kate White - Heal the Roots 
so the Tree can Thrive: Working with Adults 
Who Have Earliest Trauma

In this presentation, I share principles, maps and somatic practices for healing earliest trauma.


Alison Greene-Barton - Welcoming Who You Are from Spirit Form into Physical Form

How I support adults in renegotiating their birth and spiritual entry into the physical form to help them heal their conception wounding.


Anna Chitty - The Transformative Power of Presence to Heal Earliest Wounds

In this presentation I go deeper in understanding the special skills required to work with this most profound layer of our lived experience.


Eileen Sendrey - Touching the Earth: Mind Body Connection as a Foundation for Somatic Practitioner Skills

In somatic therapies mind body connection supports the professional to become more present in the moment and receptive to the unique unfolding of a session. This embodied receptivity, or “listening,” engages the practitioner’s inner and outer senses in perceiving their client and finding healthy impulses to know exactly what is needed for each individual in each session. Presence supports listening with acceptance and holding space for the intention of the other without injecting strong agendas of one’s own.


Kristin Sipley: Shifting Perspectives: Shining a Light on the Threads of Health

When it comes to our earliest wounds, or the feelings or behaviors that may come from our early experiences, there often is a desire or impulse to get rid of, squash, change, or make them stop. Even many of our customs and institutions have adopted and encouraged ways to control these feelings and behaviors. However, to more fully integrate our early memories, there is a fundamental need for us to shift our perspective. Rather than viewing what arises as something that needs to change or go away, there is a need to bring awareness to the brilliance and health underlying what has formed over the years and how we have shaped our selves in response to those early experiences. In this presentation, we will discuss the significance of being able to remember and perceive the intelligence and inherent health in what presents, and how bringing presence, curiosity, and space in relationship to what is being expressed provides an opportunity for transformation.
